摘要
Within the context of the Thermofield Dynamics, we introduce generalized Bogoliubov transformations which accounts simultaneously for spatial compactification and thermal effects. As a specific application of such a formalism, we consider the Casimir effect for Maxwell and Dirac fields at finite temperature. Particularly, we determine the temperature at which the Casimir pressure for a massless fermionic field in a cubic box changes its nature from attractive to repulsive. This critical temperature is approximately 100 MeV when the edge of the cube is of the order of the confining length (approximate to 1 fm) for baryons.
